dailyish photo: new bicycle helmets

The other day we bought new bicycle helmets. I chose a Giro Indicator and I like it because it has a little adjustment wheel on the back so it fits snuggly but it’s not headache inducing, and it’s really well ventilated. It was on sale at REI, and the one I picked (White/Silver) is even cheaper on Amazon right now. Yay for bicycling.

Lindsay – Yes! It’s from Texture and I love it. I am wearing the short sleeved one and she makes a tank and half-sleeve version now as well. You can order online or if you’re in Seattle she sells at the Fremont market and will be at UCU in July. Pay attention to her size charts, I’m wearing a small (I’m not normally a small).

I love the idea of a bicycle helmet fitting “snuggly.” The double-g totally makes it sounds you have a cuddly, adorable helmet that just wants to give your scalp some lovin’. There’s definitely no snuggling with my helmet — that sucker is a total curmudgeon.

Very neat! Now that the properly warm weather is here now, I am so looking forward to biking again. I sold my bike before I moved to Seattle, so I need to set out and get a new one. Have you any recommendations for bike shops in Seattle?
